Mahikeng Campus

Bodybuilding was first developed in the 19th century and has since gained popularity in many countries. Bodybuilding is a unique sport, with the primary focus being the athletes’ physical appearance. Athletes who play this sport are often referred to as bodybuilders. The sport requires quite an effort to achieve the desired results. Some bodybuilders speak of years of patience before they could start competing at a competitive level. The NWU Mahikeng bodybuilding team trains at the famous Great Hall.

The NWU Mahikeng bodybuilding team has been outstanding over the past three years. In 2018 two athletes were invited to the Arnolds Classic Championships. Three athletes were selected to go to the national competition, and one came back with a gold medal. He was then selected to participate in international competitions, in which he was placed third. In 2019 one athlete went to the annual Arnolds tournament and won a gold medal. He was selected to go to Angola, from where he came back with a silver medal. One athlete was selected to be in the USSA team and four others were selected by the province to go to the SA Championships. They came back with gold, third-place and fourth-place medals. One of their outstanding athletes went to Budapest in Hungary and he was placed fifth in his line-up. At the 2019 NWU Mahikeng Sports Awards the sports code produced the Sportsman of the Year.
